The first week for the season ending frosties regatta at SLYC was sailed under grey skies with big breeze. The crew on the Sigma 33 Squawk showed the rest of the YTC 2 yachts how to handle the spinnaker with ease. They setup to go deep and flew down the last run on the way to second place in Race 2. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying the footage from the final regatta of the 2024 sailing season.

After 1 year and 4 months in the boatyard, 4 trips to the urgent care center, roughly 300 trips to west marine, a couple emotional breakdowns, and countless mistakes, we're finally wrapping up our messy projects and moving to a marina where we can finish our refit! Next stage: Desiree will be focusing on sewing projects and Jordan will be focusing on the rig. We'll both be working part time as Captain and First Mate until November to continue to finance the refit. We'll also start to get in as many shake down cruises as possible once we get that rig up!

Can You See Dolphins While Sailing in Croatia? Croatia's stunning coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic Sea are a dream for sailors. But imagine the thrill of spotting playful dolphins alongside your boat! So, the question is: can you encounter these charismatic creatures while sailing in Croatia? The answer is yes, there is a chance! The Adriatic Sea is home to several dolphin species, including: Bottlenose dolphins: These acrobatic dolphins are the most common in the Adriatic and are known for their playful jumps and friendly curiosity. Common dolphins: Smaller and faster than bottlenose dolphins, these dolphins travel in large pods and are often seen leaping out of the water. Dwarfe sperm whales: Not technically dolphins, but still fascinating to see, these small whales can sometimes be spotted in deeper waters. While dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed on any sailing trip, there are some factors that can increase your chances: Time of year: Spring and summer (May to September) see more dolphin activity in the Adriatic. Location: Areas with abundant fish, like around islands and underwater reefs, attract dolphins. Tour options: Some sailing trips in Croatia offer specifically designed dolphin-watching excursions. These trips often take you to areas with higher dolphin concentrations and may even involve experienced guides who can help you spot them. Here are some additional tips for spotting dolphins while sailing in Croatia: Keep an eye out! As you sail, be vigilant and scan the horizon for signs of movement, splashes, or fins breaking the surface. Bring binoculars. This will allow you to get a better look if you spot something in the distance. Listen for blowholes. Dolphins exhale through a blowhole on their back, which creates a distinctive puff of air and mist. Be patient and respectful. Dolphins are wild animals, so if you do spot them, enjoy the experience from afar and avoid disturbing them. Even if you don't encounter dolphins, a sailing trip in Croatia promises stunning scenery, charming towns, and unforgettable memories. But with a little planning and some luck, you might just get that magical moment of seeing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. https://croatia-sailing-family-holidays.com/sailing-in-croatia/sailing-in-croatia-with-dolphins/
